You were the best commish. ever man. Thanks for the" hey "back. I've emailed Mike Sayre after Biff left us. Yea, Erics been gone a while. Remind me to tell you the story how eric left his old girlfriend and hooked up with his wife after a late night of talking about life on the way to another out of town tournament.

I'm afraid to get involved with the pdga for fear I would still see some of those bad ideas. I really am serious about hosting a 50+ bash here in Brady next year. The tournament I held in Brownwood in '87 still stands out whenever I run into someone that was there. We had to bring in Baskets and even used Hosers. I'm not inclined to travel much unless I decide I must go to sgm worlds........... I'm glad I found this site. Fun getting back in touch. Let me tell you about the time I had to introduce myself to Lance during my cycling life. Well yo....................Peace, Larry Mann I am Larry,

Larry,<br />

Man, it has been a long time! Welcome back! Glad you are still around. Don't know if you heard, but we lost Biff Barfield a couple of years ago, and Eric Marx moved to Asheville, NC, and I also heard that John Houck got married! I look forward to seeing you again, if we both can recognize each other! Believe it or not, I will be a GM next year. Oh, and dude, where did the Brownwood newspaper get a picture of Frank Zappa with golf discs?<br />

For the rest of you, I first met Larry when I moved to Dallas in 1987, and despite living out in the sticks (Brownwood), he was a mover and shaker in the Central Texas DG scene. Some of the old Austinites can tell you more about Larry. A point of clarification: The wrong ideas he fought against came about after my active involvement had ended. I can't remember any idea Larry had that I disagreed with; but, then again, I am of an age where it takes some effort just to remember any idea anybody had back then... :&gt;s<br />

Local club politics can be a pain. Larry, check out the Geezers club in here, which was maybe the first one of the 600+ we have that was started, on the first day of the network on December 18, 2007.<br />

Top senior grandmaster pro Peter Shive has been working on a "tour" for older players, but his focus is on Pros and, although I think he's adding Ams this year, he's using some outmoded technology so this group might be a better place to gather folks and talk about next year's season.<br />
